Core Web Vitals: The Key to Site Speed Improvement

To fix your website speed, our team will assess your website’s Core Web Vitals. These are a set of performance metrics that Google uses to evaluate user experience and online performance — and they play a big role in determining your search ranking.

The three main Core Web Vitals include:

  • Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): Measures how long it takes for the largest piece of content to load.

  • First Input Delay (FID): Tracks how quickly your site responds to user interactions.

  • Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Evaluates your website’s visual stability and whether the layout shifts unexpectedly during loading.

At Kia Ora Digital, our site speed experts in New Zealand stay ahead of Google’s algorithm updates to ensure your site remains fast, stable, and search-ready.

Common Questions

Speed optimisation in SEO refers to the process of making your website load faster. A fast-loading website not only provides a better user experience but also plays a crucial role in your website’s search engine ranking.

Speed is important for SEO because it influences user experience, conversion rates, and search engine rankings.

 

A fast-loading website helps keep visitors engaged, reduces bounce rates, and encourages them to interact more with your site, leading to better conversion rates. Speed is also a ranking factor for Google, so a faster website can help improve your visibility in search results, driving more organic traffic to your site.

  • Proven Track Record: We’ve helped numerous clients improve their website speed, leading to better user experience, lower bounce rates, and higher search rankings.
  • Comprehensive Approach: We look at everything from your code and server environment to your images and third-party scripts.
  • Ongoing Support: Our service doesn’t stop after the initial optimisation. We provide ongoing support and monitoring to ensure your site remains fast as it grows and evolves. 

With Kia Ora Digital, you’re not just getting a service; you’re getting a partnership dedicated to your long-term success. Get in touch with us to get started today.

Website speed directly impacts SEO in several ways. Google has confirmed that site speed is a ranking factor for its search engine.

If your website loads slowly, it can lead to a higher bounce rate as users tend to leave sites that don’t load within a few seconds. This can negatively impact your site’s ranking in search engine results.

Additionally, a slow-loading website can decrease the number of pages Google can crawl using their allocated crawl budget, which could negatively impact your site’s indexation.

There are several ways to optimise your page speed, including the following:

  • Compress Images: Large images can significantly slow down your website. Use tools to compress images without losing quality.
  • Minify Files: Minify your CSS, JavaScript, and HTML files to reduce their size and improve load times.
  • Leverage Browser Caching: This allows a user’s browser to store copies of your site’s individual pages, so it doesn’t need to retrieve the entire page every time the user visits your site.
  • Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN): A CDN stores copies of your site at various points around the world to reduce the distance data has to travel to reach your users.
  • Optimise Your Code: Remove unnecessary characters, whitespace, and code comments to improve your site’s speed. 

While these are some of the common methods, speed optimisation can be quite technical and complex, which is why it’s often beneficial to work with professionals like Kia Ora Digital.
